   I won't say much; everyone who's read it has to say it's good. Especially the second book, which has a bit of an antique feel. I think martial arts novels need a certain classical literary quality to flow through them; you can't just make them lighthearted and funny. The first book is also very good. The interweaving of game and reality plots is a slight disappointment, but the flaws don't detract from its overall excellence. The protagonist is a marksman, and the plot is good. The female characters are a bit drawn out, but thankfully there isn't a female lead yet. This book gives a glimpse into the author's outline; it's a novel with a well-developed structure.

   The game design is original, and the overall tone of the story is heartwarming and healing. The characters' backgrounds and experiences are very realistic, making them feel real rather than just plot devices. From what I've read so far, it leans more towards individual characters than ensemble pieces. Because it's a new book, there's not much content yet, and it's currently still in game development. Even the testing so far has only involved the protagonist's younger brother; further details will be developed later.

    I recently stumbled upon a football novel during a reading slump, and it's captivating right from the start: the protagonist has a system, but it's not an instant power-up where all attributes are maxed out. It's more about training, matches, adapting to the Premier League's pressing, and gradually building up his abilities. I'm already looking forward to him facing off against teams like Chelsea and Manchester City.
